arer err HARRIET BACE-ILEDA, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MTNNESOTA HAIR CUBLERApplication filed April 15,

of June 19, 1928, designated byv Serial No.

Since developing the original structures, 1 have conceived of addedimprovements and refinements. The invention shown in the pending cases,as well as the invention shown in this application is characterized by alongitudinally bowed backing member, with which a complemental clampingmember is pivotally associated through the medium of a hin ed connectionat one end, and the opposite ends of these members are constructed fordisposition in retained clamping relationship.

In addition, I provide a resilient wire hair curling device which isswing-ably connected with the hinged end of said clan'iping members andadapted to be moved into close proximity with respect to the strands ofhair.

The principal improvement in this application is the hair binding andcurling device 30 or member which is formed from a single length 01":wire bent upon itself to provide resilient arms which are constructed tobe separately and adjustably connected with a keeper on the outer end ofthe main backing and clamping member.

itself to provide a pair of spaced parallel arms 9 whose free endportions are bent into hinge eyes 10. The connecting portion 11 is bentat right angles to provide what may be designated as a keeper. Thereference character 12 designates a suitable wrappin Then, too, thereference character 13 designates a slidable clip constituting a keeper.

.Cooperable with this is a supplementary clamping member in the form ofa longitudia nally bowed flat strip 14 the end 15 of which is bent intoa hinged knuckle arranged between the eyes 10. These pieces 10 and 15embrace the bi 'lit'portion 16 of a connecting link 17. The arms of thelink are formed into pivotal eyes 18.

The improvement comprises the device-19. This is formed from a singlelength of resilient wire, bent upon itself into an elongated loop 20,which is connected with the eyes 18.

In addition it is formed into diverging resilient arms 21 terminatinginseparably. connected retaining hooks 22 and 23, respectively. These arebent into interlocking relationship as seen in Figure 2.' Adjacent thehook are outstanding bends 24: constituting retaining shoulders. Inpractice, the free end portions of the arms 21 are extended through thekeeper seat- 11, and the shoulders 24 are engaged therewith in anobvious manner to hold the arms 21 in binding relationship. w Thereference character 25 merely designates a protective sleeve whichsurrounds the arm 21.

The use of the device herein described is substantially the same as theuse and opera-3.

tion described in the co-pending applications already mentioned. Thestrands are placed scription and drawings, a clear understanding of theinvention will be had. Therefore 7 a more lengthy description isregarded unnecessary.

Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details may beresorted to in actual practiceif desired.

What is claimed is:

1. In a hair curler of the class described, a main backing member formedat one end with hinge eyes and formed at the Opposite end with alaterally bent keeper seat, a retaining clip carried by said backingmember,

a clamping member disposed in substantial parallelism with the backingmember and formed at one end with a hinged knuckle dis-V posed betweensaid hinged eyes and having its opposite end arrangedfor detachableconnection with said. retaining clip, a substantially U-shaped linkhaving its bight portion passing through said knuckle and said eye,

the arms of said links terminating in pivot eyes, and a hair crimpingdevice constructed at one end for hinged connection with said link eyesand having its opposite end constructed for detachable connection withsaid keeper seat. 1

2. In a hair curler of the class described, a

backing member, a clamping member hingedly connected to one end oi thebflCklIlQ member, a link connected to the hingedend OI said backing andclamping members, and a hair crimping device formed from asingle lengthof. wire bent between its ends to provide an intermediate loop pivotallyconnected with said link and a pair of resilient normally separablearms, the free end portions of said arms being formed with interlockinghooks and formed adjacent said hooks with retaining shoulders, saidbacking member being provided with a keeper with which said shouldersare cooperable. I

3. As a new article of manufacture, a hair crimping device 'for use inassociation with bent upon itself to provide a central elona clampingand backing member of the class described comprising a single length ofwire gated pivot loop, and a pair of normally separable spring arms,said arms being provided with protectivesleeves and the free endportions being bent to provide a pair of out- Wardly disposed bentshoulders and the ertremities being formed to provide interlockinoverlapping hooks.

in testimony whereof I affix my sl nature.
